Theme:

During the classes, we present the principles of operation of the pathology department, the essence, goals and basics of pathology diagnostics based on theoretical and practical classes. In particular, we discuss issues related to general and specific pathology in the field of lung, heart, vascular, head and neck and gastrointestinal diseases.
